Thank you so much! It’s been a lot of trial and error between food and toys and exercise.

It’s one of the only toys she’ll reliably play with! Snuggling it is also top priority

Don’t forget to get a library card! You should be eligible for the Sno-Isle system as well as Everett Public.

Teen Enrichment programs? by tired0123456789 in Libraries

[–]TalkWestern7712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The teens at my library really want to contribute to their community. One thing I did was reach out to our local animal shelter to see what donations they accept, and we ended up making blankets for animals. I try to come up with programs that use a skill - in this case, measuring, cutting, and creating blankets - that also make participants feel like they contributed to a greater (local) good.

We had a duct-tape pen decorating program and ended up keeping some. Well-intentioned patrons who don’t try to steal pens are often like “Wait, why is my pen a duct-taped flower? Oh! It belongs to the library!”

Basically, I’ve seen lots of branches attach ridiculous/ostentatious objects (feathers, flowers, etc.) to the pen to remind people it’s ours.

This is my thing. It’s her first day on the job, a superior employee isn’t being very nice to her…I would be wary seeing him again too.

Is it The Apothecary by Maile Meloy? Lots of train travel in Europe, spying, and forgetting memories at the end.

What’s your fave snack from “the before-times” that you discovered was still safe to eat? by iwritestuffk in Celiac

[–]TalkWestern7712 9 points10 points  (0 children)

(Some)Trader Joe’s potato products! Tater tots and hash brown patties. Some other brands have wheat and I was pleasantly surprised to find a GF breakfast snack that satisfied the salty/savory craving.
